Since the implement of the policy of reform and open in 1978, in China, people are influenced by the foreign culture and convention. The most obvious thing is that people use foreign products and the foreign festivals are becoming more and more popular. The growing popularity of western festivals inChinais a good phenomenon.自從1978年改革開放政策的實施，在中國，人們深受外國文化和習(xí)俗的影響。最明顯的就是人們使用外國產(chǎn)品和洋節(jié)在中國變得越來越流行。西方節(jié)日在中國的日益流行是一種好的現(xiàn)象。

On the one hand, the growing popularity of western festivals promotes cultural exchanges between countries. There are 56 unique ethnic groups in our country, it has profound cultures, we can’t know well about our culture, let alone the foreign counties. While the policy of reform and open helps we know more about the world, we start to learn their culture by their festivals.一方面，西方節(jié)日在中國的日益流行促進了國家間文化的交流。我們國家有56個民族，文化博大精深，對于自己的文化都無法全面了解，更何況外國的呢。然而改革開放政策讓我們對世界有更多的了解，我們開始通過節(jié)日了解他們的文化。

On the other hand, when we admit foreign festivals, we treat the festivals as our necessary days, so we will spend the days, buying presents, thus, it will promote our country’s economy. Today, most people get used to the Christmas Day in China, people buy a lot of discount products, just like Spring Festival, they are attracted the holiday themes.另一方面，當我們承認洋節(jié)，把節(jié)日當成必要的一部分，這樣就會過這個節(jié)日，買禮物，以此來促進我們國家經(jīng)濟的發(fā)展。今天，大部分人在中國習(xí)慣了圣誕節(jié)，人們買很多打折產(chǎn)品，就像在春節(jié)那樣，被節(jié)日的主題吸引。

Some people worry about the foreign festivals will let us forget about our own traditional festivals. On the contrary, it enhances our sense of convention, people will realize the importance of our culture. For these reasons, the foreign festivals are welcomed.有人擔(dān)心外國節(jié)日會讓我們忘記自己的傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日。相反，那反而增強了我們的習(xí)俗感，人們會意識到我們文化的重要性。出于以上這些理由，洋節(jié)會變得流行。
